Yes, they are quite a contrast in size.

Being both Steamfest and Railfest on the same day - yeah - it makes for 
a very busy day. I'm still working on the photos and video from this 
year's Railfest... I hope to get them posted this weekend. Railfest 
wasn't quite the "splash" it was last year with both Norfolk Southern's 
and Kansas City Southern's "F" units in here - still - since we've 
become the "un-official official" photographers for Dunn (and their 
GP-8) - we still have quite a time there as well.

That could probably be arranged. In fact - I'm due to shoot some more 
pictures of the Watts-Campbell Corliss engine during the week next week 
while some "after the fest" work is being done by various groups and 
volunteers.  The industrial arts people from Meridian Community College 
run that part of the museum - and those involved can get time on most of 
the machines.  Of course they are also expected to lend a hand doing 
maintenance, cleaning, working on displays, the building itself, etc. 
Surely you'd like to volunteer some time!

best to ya'!
